Antique Kerman Carpet, Country of Origin: Persia, Circa Date: 1920— Complex lines and shapes define this beautiful Kerman carpet. With the softly flowing elements all tying into each other, their forms lead the viewer’s eye to the next captivating motif. Through the relatively simple use of bright and dark colors, the artistic presence of the lines can shine through in an even more defining way. Deep, dark blue spaces in the borders establish contrast against many of the floral motifs, leading the viewer’s attention to the center of the carpet, where white petals and flowers dance against a soft clay background.
